Jianghai faction? Chen Ao was stunned, thinking that he had misheard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said blankly: "Lord Liu, you are not...... Do you support the Hellish Gate?"

Liu Dongquan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "How do you know that I support the Earth Evil Gate?" But as soon as the words came out, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, coughed dryly, hid his embarrassment, and said, "Chen Ao, what are you talking nonsense!"

Chen Ao said: "Isn't it? Lord Liu is obviously in the VIP Building tonight, isn't he a distinguished guest invited by the Disha Gate?"

Liu Dongquan let out an "oh" twice, thinking to himself, this kid's eyes are pointy, but fortunately he didn't find anything. He then said, "Haha...... I didn't think you were a little smart enough to see that I was invited by Xiong Guang tonight. But let me tell you, all of this is a trick! As an official of the imperial court, how can I accept the invitation of the gangsters? Joke!"

Chen Ao nodded, and suddenly realized that he was strong, but he thought in his heart, hmph, the more high-sounding these officials are on the surface, the more filthy they are in secret. I'm afraid this Liu Dongquan also has some ulterior secrets!

Liu Dongquan continued: "I went to the VIP building for a banquet tonight, just to stabilize Xiong Guang and observe the enemy situation at the same time. Wait until the last minute, and try to catch them all!"

Chen Ao didn't demolish him, but only promised: "Yes, yes, Lord Liu is wise and martial, and he will definitely be able to succeed!"

Liu Dongquan waved his hand, laughed, and said: "I hate other people's sycophants the most, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly! You remember to me that from tomorrow, you will take the initiative to find the Jianghai faction, explain that it is my people, and express your support." Their helper Fang Rulong has already received my instructions, and he will definitely not be suspicious!"

Chen Ao kept it in his mind, but he still had many questions. What is this Liu Dongquan's idea? Why do you have to deal with Xiong Guang while supporting the Jianghai faction?

He asked, "Lord Liu, I'm a little confused, what is this for? Do you think the Jianghai Sect has the strength to compete with the Earth Demon Sect?"

Liu Dongquan laughed and said, "It is precisely because the Earth Demon Gate has invited the most helpers and the strongest strength now, and almost everyone feels that Xiong Guang is firmly in the position of helm master, so we have to support the Jianghai faction." It's like the icing on the cake and the charcoal in the snow, which is more profitable?"

Chen Ao understood a little, and secretly thought, it turned out that Liu Dongquan was doing business, and he planned to use the smallest capital to fight for the greatest interests. But on second thought, wasn't he here to be in charge of exterminating the Salt Gang?

He carefully asked his doubts, and saw that the expression on Liu Dongquan's face changed, and he pondered for a while, as if he wanted to tell Chen Ao.

Finally, Liu Dongquan patted his thigh and said, "Brother Chen, let me tell you honestly, I have other plans for this mission." As long as you promise to be loyal to me, I will tell you all about it!"

Chen Ao thought to himself, "Hmph, just now he told me that he was loyal to the emperor, but now he has become loyal to him, and there is indeed an ulterior secret! Do you want to listen to Lao Tzu? As the saying goes, the more you know, the faster you will die. Will this Liu Dongquan really take me as a confidant? I'm afraid that when I run out of use, it's time to sharpen my knives. But wouldn't it be worse if I said I didn't want to hear it and he killed me right now?

Thinking of this, Chen Ao had already made up his mind, so he continued to show his loyalty: "Lord Liu, I am now dedicated to you with a red heart, of course I will swear allegiance to the death!"

Liu Dongquan was very satisfied, patted Chen Ao's shoulder, and said, "Okay! What I want is someone like you who knows current affairs." Chen Ao, you say, why does our Imperial City Division exist?"

Chen Ao was stunned and shook his head blankly.

Liu Dongquan sighed and said in a deep voice: "The Khitan has not made waves for many years, and the ministers are also loyal and have no abnormal behaviors. Since Su Zhuo's death more than ten years ago, even the rivers and lakes, which have always been restless, have become calm. It's been too long since the world has been stable......"

Chen Ao's heart jumped, and he secretly thought, this is not what a loyal courtier should say. No wonder this man doesn't speak his mind easily!

Liu Dongquan said: "Although our Imperial City Division is not big, it is not as important as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, but it is extremely important to the emperor. If the world is settled, no one is in trouble, no one is making trouble, and we don't have any useful information to present to the emperor, what will the emperor think?"

Chen Ao said casually: "What else can you think, of course, I think that the world is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is a great good thing!"

Liu Dongquan looked at him contemptuously, shook his head, and said, "You are still tender! If the emperor sees the reports we send every day, they all say that the wind and rain are smooth, and he will never think that the world is fine." On the contrary, they will feel that our Imperial City Division is a cadre who is not of great use and does not fulfill his responsibilities! Even if his subordinates do everything in an orderly manner and cannot find a single flaw, they will also feel that this person is not meticulous in his work and cannot find problems. Do you understand?"

Chen Ao couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Liu Dongquan, and he couldn't imagine that this person looked like a rough military general on the surface, but he had a deep understanding of this aspect of officialdom. The water in this officialdom is really muddy and deep, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will drown, and you won't understand what's going on when you die.

Liu Dongquan said: "Therefore, we have to keep giving the emperor something fresh, so that he can feel that our Imperial City Division is not only useful, but also useful." In this way, we can all be promoted and make a fortune!"

Chen Ao couldn't help but shake his head, the world is stable, but it is not good, the feudal thinking of thousands of years is really sick.

He then thought about it, it turned out that Liu Dongquan did not want to completely exterminate the Salt Gang! The Salt Gang was not small, but it could not shake the foundation of the imperial court, and it would not pose a real threat to the enemy, but would instead become a job guarantee for Liu Dongquan and his colleagues. As long as you make some moves from time to time, so that the people in the court can see that they are suppressing the salt gang, you can be promoted and make a fortune.

If you think about it further, it is difficult to ban private salt. Even if Liu Dongquan really wasted time and effort this time, lost a lot of manpower, and eradicated these gangs, other gangs would emerge soon. When the time comes, the emperor may also blame them for their ineffective suppression of bandits, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After thinking about everything, Chen Ao showed a knowing smile and said, "Lord Liu, I understand." ”

Liu Dongquan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now the strength of the Earth Demon Sect is the strongest, in order to prevent his family from becoming dominant and threatening us, we will take action to suppress and suppress." Therefore, I made Xiong Guang think that I was supporting him, and he got carried away. But in fact, I want to nominate Fang Rulong from the Jianghai faction to sit in the position of chief helms......man!

Chen Ao said in his heart, in addition to the Earth Demon Gate, there are three gangs, you don't choose anything else, but choose the Jianghai faction, needless to say, this Fang Rulong doesn't know how much benefit it has given you! Perhaps, this Fang Rulong is a puppet at all. It's fake that he's the chief helmsman, but it's true that you're the chief helmsman!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and now that he was an official or a bandit, he really couldn't tell the difference. Chen Ao was a little scared, but he knew that he couldn't retreat with his whole body, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Lord Liu, I really don't hide it. I, the official of the county, was robbed away by Duan Wuji, and I have not been able to take office yet! My lord, what do you think I should do?"

Liu Dongquan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly kicked Chen Ao's buttocks, kicked him out, and scolded: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what method you use, in short, you have to do something for me tomorrow as the magistrate!"
